camera for about 4 years now and I have always been very satisfied with the photos, but I don't know if I accidently changed a setting or what is going on, but the last 2 events I have been getting extreme red eye problems and yellow tint...only on indoor photos. The only flash I have is the one that is built onto the camera, but it has always done fine before. Thanks.

Of course, a film camera will not have a white balance setting. If the yellow is the prominent light, then it will be hard to adjust it in the photolab without turning everything red and blue.
The yellow suggests that the flash is not firing at full power, or you are too far away for the flash to affect the ambient lighting. Tungsten bulbs produce yellow light, fluorescent lighting usually looks green.
The red eye is caused by the proximity of the flash to the lens, not a lot that you can do about that with a built in flash.
You may have set the camera to night mode, which would use a longer shutter speed in order to capture more of the background lighting. The icon for that mode is a person with a star beside their head.

Does your camera have a "white balance" setting? You may either have set it different by accident or the indoor lights really have a yellow hue to them (we have problems with photos taken in our gym at school.) Were you using faulty film? If this is not the case, have your camera checked out at a shop.
In the mean time, have your negatives digitized and then you can resurrect them to the proper colors using a photo editing program. I did this a lot before I figured out how to use the white balance selector. Good luck!

I believed it is the exposure, but without detail testing will be very difficult to answer. Buy digital, they are cheap nowadays, some like Canon S3is & Sony H5 is damn good, you also can use them to take good resolution movie. the best thing about digital is you can see the approx result immediatly, so if there is a problem you can test a few times with different configuration, only if you have tested everything, that means your camera has problem. Film camera very difficult to test & more expensive becoz everythime you test you need to spend money to buy film & develop it.

generally the yellow is caused by the lighting in the room
if you were under florescent lights it would be green
going to a slower film like 400 possibly 200 would probably help because the flash would be doing more of the work exposing the film
